Il Grifone Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Actually £500 for the three boxed Dublo locomotives is not all that excessive. A 'Dorchester' is 'worth' around £350* and the other about £75 each. £100 carriage charge does seem OTT however. I would be tempted to collect in person, if I were intending to pay that much (I'm not! and I'd want to see the goods first anyway). Perhaps the seller is not aware that eBay now takes their cut on delivery charges? *Sixties Dublo 3 rail is all 'rare'.

Ruffnut Thorston Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 From the seller who doesn't know their geography again: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/large-vintage-train-collection-/192011638674?hash=item2cb4c91792:g:uCwAAOSwtnpXlLYN Also, I reckon postage must be 'deliver in person' at that price There are two coaches in the wrong boxes there...both Tri-ang Hornby coaches... The SR Green MK1 in a Mainline Box, and the "GWR" (Caledonian Railway) Coach in a Wrenn Box..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted December 27, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 27, 2016 Actually £500 for the three boxed Dublo locomotives is not all that excessive. *Sixties Dublo 3 rail is all 'rare'. They look to be in good condition with very little scuffing of the paintwork. The lining (I found) is the first thing to damage and it looks OK. *As with all things, some 3 rail Dublo is rarer than others, especially in good nick!

Il Grifone Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) True some Dublo is rarer than others, but all sixties 3 rail has a premium over the 2 rail or the earlier 3 rail version. For example an N2 or Mallard with nickel wheels (the certain indentification of a sixties model) is more valuable than one with plain mazak wheels. Plastic couplings are also appropriate, but in the case of Mallard could merely be a tender swap. The other 3 rail models, with the exception of the Bo-Bo diesel, all had new identities. Condition is all important of course. Edited December 28, 2016 by Il Grifone 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rough paintwork completes the job. Notwithstanding the fact that these are hardly rare in any sense, IIRC , they were not much more than that cost when they first came out were they? I have to admit, as far as 'damage' goes that's one of the worst ive seen of these. Thinking further, did Mainline actually do a 44?? Or has this one been modified? The discs are obviously extra's. Cant say I remember seeing one as a 44 from the factory. Edited December 27, 2016 by Gary H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Grifone Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Regarding the prairie tank, it would appear that someone in Vicenza stuck the transfer on the wrong way up (too much wine with lunch?). I doubt this makes the model worth any more (It's not really like a Dublo GWR 0-6-2T with a Duchess number or other similar errors, which for some strange reason are valuable - we tend to prefer our models assembled properly! or at least I do). The EMU has now reached the heady heights of £5.51! (It might just be worth this for the motor bogie, but.... Perhaps someone wants a challenge!)
